Abstract
Adolescents vary in their reasons for disliking someone and certain reasons are more strongly linked to adjustment. The primary reasons for disliking another peer were because they were seen as different, immature, and uninhibited. Disliking a peer who bullied the self and others was most strongly associated with social maladjustment.
